  6. House hunting, ground floor or high up??

    in Expats

    Posted

    Get above the 8th floor (where elevators are required in China) or maybe you like a billion stairs...

     

    I never would of thought about the plumbing issue, or the mosquitos, looks like I will try for a mid level apartment when I go looking with HR today.

    Thank's for the advice.

     

    my wife says the first few floors have as features, salesmen knocking on your doors all the time, street noise!!, thieves, people off the street wandering in taking anything in sight and using the halls and stairs as toilets / sex places / etc., first floor has the good old security probs too plus peepers and flooding, heat rises so the bottom is also the coldest, gated community or not

  7. Wuhan's Capsule Apartments - Chinese style

    Each tiny room functions as a bedroom, living room, bathroom and kitchen — all in one. That means a resident’s toilet is never too far away from his or her dining space. By Michael Walsh / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

    High rent and low wages in Wuhan have forced some young professionals to consider these super-cramped quarters. Wu Chao and Yan Changlai share room 405.

    Jimmy McMillan and his fellow New Yorkers are not alone thinking the “rent is too damn high.”

    The rent is apparently so “damn high” in the city of Wuhan, China that some people have opted to share 4.5-square meter rooms — just under 50 square feet — with other people.

    New York is one American city that can commiserate with the cost-cutting tactics of squeezing into cramped quarters with roommates. But most New York apartments have a bit more room than those found in a six-story building in China’s Hubei Province.

    The landlord transformed his building into 55 separate living “capsules.” Each room functions as a bedroom, living room, bathroom and kitchen — all in one. That means a resident’s toilet is never too far away from his or her dining space.

    The story of the capsule apartment has been spreading beyond China due to photos that were snapped on Wednesday — and published by HAP/Quirky China/Rex Feat.

    One photo of Room 508 shows roommates Zhang Xuan and Wu Meihua sharing the small room. In the picture, Xuan, a courier service worker, can be seen washing her hair as Meihua sits on her elevated bed checking her phone.

    Another picture captures baby products salesman Zhang Xin taking a shower, with his laptop propped up on his bed, not far from sight.

    The residents’ occupations vary considerably — from local retail workers to construction material salesmen.

    Young workers in Wuhan — like young workers in New York — have encountered financial roadblocks on their paths to independent living. High rent and low wages have forced some young professionals to consider these multipurpose quarters the preferable option.

     

    and rent is not that expensive in Wuhan and wages not that low... LOL... the New York Daily (American) News is a funny paper... Chinese like to save money is mostly what the "capsule" phenom is all about here

  9. Philippines Gun Down China (Taiwan)

    Taipei imposed further sanctions on Manila on Wednesday, despite an apology from Philippine President Benigno Aquino that attempted to ease a weeklong rift between the two economies.

    TIMELINE

    May 9: The Taiwan fishing boat Guang Ta Hsin 28 was attacked by a Philippine government vessel in an overlapping area of the two sides' exclusive economic zones, killing the 65-year-old skipper, Hung Shih-cheng.

    Friday: Manila admitted the shooting, but remained unapologetic.

    Saturday: In the evening, Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou issued a 72-hour ultimatum to the Philippines to apologize, clarify the truth, punish those held responsible, or face severe sanctions.

    Tuesday: In the evening, just hours before the ultimatum's expiration, Manila agreed to apologize.

    Wednesday: Antonio Basilio, the Philippines' resident representative of the Manila Economic and Cultural Office in Taiwan, apologized during a joint news conference with Lin Yung-lo, Taiwan's "minister of foreign affairs".

    Wednesday: In the morning, Taipei officially announced the first round of sanctions against the Philippines and vowed further sanctions if demands are not met.

    Wednesday: In the afternoon, Philippine presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda confirmed that Aquino apologized for the killing and called for calm. At 6 pm, Taipei's second round of sanctions were initiated, including a red alert on travel to the Philippines and suspension of high-level exchanges between the two economies.

    Wednesday: In the evening, Manila's special envoy Amadeo Perez extended "heartfelt apology to the family of the fisherman who was shot in the channel between Taiwan and the Philippines".

    At an unexpected news conference, a Philippine presidential spokesman said Aquino had sent the chairman of the Manila Economic and Cultural Office to Taiwan as his personal representative to make the apology on behalf of Aquino and the Filipino people.

    Just hours after the apology, Jiang Yi-huah, chief of Taiwan's executive body, announced the initiation of the second wave of sanctions against the Philippines, with measures such as suspension of high-level exchanges between the two.

    Jiang said the Philippines has not shown sufficient sincerity and has been oscillating in its handling of the case, making it necessary for Taipei to take further action, Taiwan media reported.

    The new sanctions also remove the Philippines from Taiwan's visa-waiver program and suspend economic exchanges, fishery cooperation, science and technology cooperation, as well as bilateral aviation negotiations.

    In Manila's news conference, spokesman Edwin Lacierda said Aquino will convey his and the Filipino people's deep regret and apology to the family of Hung Shih-cheng, the 65-year-old fishing captain shot dead last week by Filipino coast guard, as well as to the people of Taiwan over the unfortunate and unintended loss of life.

    Lacierda urged Taiwan not to implement sanctions and to reverse its decision to ban new Filipino workers, AFP reported.

    He did not mention compensation, but said Aquino had asked the Manila Economic and Cultural Office to make "donations" to the dead fisherman's family. He did not say how much would be donated.

    Yang Baoyun, an expert on Southeast Asian studies at Peking University, said the word "donation", instead of "compensation", is likely to irritate the Taiwan public as it shows Manila's lack of sincerity.

    Amadeo Perez, the special envoy, arrived at Taipei at Wednesday noon. After a 40-minute meeting with Taiwan officials in the evening, Perez extended "heartfelt apology to the family of the fisherman who was shot in the channel between Taiwan and the Philippines".

    Perez said he will further discuss issues related to the event with Taiwan's officials on Thursday.

    An investigation panel from Taiwan is expected to arrive in Manila on Thursday to join the Philippine National Bureau of Investigation's inquiry, which started on Monday.

    Experts said Manila's late and sloppy apology fell short of satisfying Taipei's requests and easing public indignation.

    Yang said the Manila-Taipei confrontation from the shooting is getting more complicated as Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou, supported by almost unanimous public opinion, is determined not to back down over the incident.

  11. Airlines collected record baggage fees in 2012

    in Communications, Planes, Shipping & Money

    Posted

    Profitable business is fine but "3.7% profit margin comes entirely from the baggage and change fees" and more planned increases tells me that they think their administrative costs are well and fine so why not stick it to the customers to pay for them more? Kind of makes you feel sorry for the head of United Airlines whose salary fell to $7.9 mil.

     

    "Compared to many other U.S. industry CEOs, airline CEOs maintain that they're relatively underpaid. Airlines state that they pay relatively high CEO salaries in order to attract top executive performers. The AFL-CIO website says that in 2011, average U.S. CEO compensation was more than $5.03 million. In comparison, then, the U.S. airline CEO compensation average of $3.5 million is a bit below average. The average 2011 income of all U.S. occupations was about $34,000."

  12. China has world's largest 'new media' market

    China has the world's largest new media market, highlighted by the country's growing Internet penetration and a vibrant range of new media applications, according to an industry report published by the Xinhua News Agency on Wednesday.

    China has made great strides in pushing development in sectors that are key to the emergence of new media, such as mobile telecommunications and information technology, according to the "Report on China's Rising New Media."

    Data from the China Internet Networks Information Center showed that China's online population had reached 564 million as of the end of last year, with the number of mobile Internet users hitting 420 million.

    China's Internet penetration rate has exceeded 42 percent and the report expects the online population to reach 600 million in the near future.

    The fast expansion of network coverage has fueled a surge in the variety of Internet applications, which range from instant messaging and video-sharing to shopping and banking, as well as social networking, the report says.

    The report cited WeChat, the popular instant voice messaging app developed by Internet giant Tencent, as an example of the increasing penetration of new media.

    The application has attracted 300 million registered users in just two years.

    The growing number of applications will help new media become China's most significant social and information platform, the report says.

    Released by Xinhua's New Media Center, which was created at the end of last year to keep up with changing dynamics in the media industry, the report analyzes current conditions and trends in new media.

  16. Japan has no future

    in The Middle Kingdom - 中国

    Posted

    Yeah, nothing wrong in Japan... real bright future...

    An outspoken nationalist mayor said the Japanese military's forced prostitution of Asian women before and during World War II was necessary to "maintain discipline" in the ranks and provide rest for soldiers who risked their lives in battle.

    The comments made Monday are already raising ire in neighboring countries that bore the brunt of Japan's wartime aggression and that have long complained that Japan has failed to fully atone for wartime atrocities.

    Toru Hashimoto, the young, brash mayor of Osaka who is also co-leader of an emerging conservative political party, also told reporters that there wasn't clear evidence that the Japanese military coerced women to become what are euphemistically called "comfort women."

    "To maintain discipline in the military, it must have been necessary at that time," said Hashimoto. "For soldiers who risked their lives in circumstances where bullets are flying around like rain and wind, if you want them to get some rest, a comfort women system was necessary. That's clear to anyone."

    Historians say up to 200,000 women, mainly from the Korean Peninsula and China, were forced to provide sex for Japanese soldiers in military brothels.

    In Seoul, the Foreign Ministry expressed disappointment over what it called a senior Japanese official's serious lack of historical understanding and respect for women's rights. It asked Japan's leadership figures to look back on their country's imperial past, including grave human rights violations that were committed, and correct their anachronistic historical views.

    Hashimoto's comments come amid mounting criticism at the prospect of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's conservative government revising Japan's past apologies for wartime atrocities. Before he took office in December, Abe had advocated revising a 1993 statement by then-Prime Minister Yohei Kono acknowledging and expressing remorse for the suffering caused to the sexual slaves of Japanese troops.

    Abe has acknowledged "comfort women" existed but has denied they were coerced into prostitution    , citing a lack of official evidence.

    Recently, top officials in Abe's government have appeared to backpedal on suggestions the government might revise past apologies, apparently to calm tensions with South Korea and China and address U.S. concerns about Abe's nationalist agenda.

    Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga repeated the previous government position and said that those women went through unbearable pain.

    "The stance of the Japanese government on the comfort women issue is well known. They have suffered unspeakably painful experiences. The Abe Cabinet has the same sentiments as past Cabinets."

    Education Minister Hakubun Shimomura said Hashimoto's remark doesn't help as Japan has faced criticism from its neighboring countries and the U.S. over its interpretation of history.

    "A series of remarks related to our interpretation of (wartime) history have been already misunderstood. In that sense, Mr. Hashimoto's remark came at a bad time," Shimomura told reporters. "I wonder if there is any positive meaning to intentionally make such remarks at this particular moment."

    Hashimoto, 43, is co-head of the newly formed Japan Restoration Party with former Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara, who is a strident nationalist.

    Sakihito Ozawa, the party's parliamentary affairs chairman, said he believed Hashimoto's remarks reflected his personal view but expressed concerns about repercussions.

    "We should ask his real intentions and stop this at some point," he said.

     

    Japanese apologies have been rebuffed by most because of wording and lack of legal repercussions. Washington Coalition for Comfort Women Issues notes the use of a word Owabi, not Shazai, in those Japanese apologies. The coalition said, "the expression owabi in Japanese in most cases means a sense of apology slightly weightier than an Excuse me."

  18. Philippines Gun Down China (Taiwan)

    MANILA, May 12 (Xinhua) -- Philippine Deputy Presidential Spokeswoman Abigail Valte on Sunday extended sincere sympathies and condolences to the family of the fisherman from China's Taiwan region who was killed by men from the Philippine Coast Guard Thursday.

    She said in a statement on Sunday, "As the Philippine Coast Guard has stated, we express our heartfelt sorrow on the unfortunate situation that occurred during one of the anti-illegal fishing patrols conducted by a Philippine fishery law enforcement vessel (MCS 3001) within the maritime jurisdiction (waters off the Batanes group of islands) of the Philippines on the morning of May 9, which tragically resulted in the death of a fisherman from one of the fishing vessels reportedly poaching in the area."

    "We extend our sincere and deepest sympathies and condolences to the bereaved family of the victim," she added.

    But, she failed to make an apology as requested by officials and people from Taiwan. Moreover, Valte described the killing of Taiwan fisherman happened in Philippine territorial waters. But Taiwan coast guard authority said the shooting happened at 164 nautical miles southeast of the southernmost tip of Taiwan.

    She added that Resident Representative of the Manila Economic and Cultural Office in Taiwan Antonio Basilio has visited the family of the victim and extended condolences and offered his apologies.

    Asked if the apology is an acknowledgment that the Philippines authorities made a mistake, Valte said at a news briefing that it was more of an "expression of heartfelt sorrow at the unfortunate incident," stressing that investigations are ongoing and it would be better to wait for the results of the probe.

    Valte said the Philippine Coast Guard investigation started with the recall and relief of the commander and crew of the MCS 3001.

     

    This is just not cutting it... it's a very good thing their investigations are ongoing, they're on the clock.

  22. PBS.org Independent Lens - Seeking Asian Female

    Saw this interview and it sheds light on the director...

     

    American Man, 60, Seeks Chinese Bride: Interview with director Debbie Lum

     

    Lum's documentary Seeking Asian Female began as an exposé on American men with Asian fetishes -- and grew into a complicated love story about the challenges of cross-cultural marriage.

    http://uschina.usc.edu/files/images/20121213203827seekingasianfemale.png

    Steven and Sandy. Photo courtesy of Seeking Asian Female's Facebook page.

    The idea behind Seeking Asian Female was born from documentarian Debbie Lum's life-long discomfort with "yellow fever," which refers to non-Asian men's fascination with Asian women. She decides to follow Steven, the stereotypical, clueless, if well-meaning, 60-year-old Caucasian man who is obsessed with finding a young Chinese wife. Through an internet search, he falls for a 30-year-old woman named Sandy and brings her over to the United States on a three-month engagement visa. In that span of time, Sandy will have to decide whether she wants to marry him -- or return home to China.

    While Lum began hoping to make an objective fly-on-the-wall documentary, she found herself being pulled into the story. First off, the English-speaking Steven and Mandarin Chinese-speaking Sandy cannot actually communicate, so they inevitably rely on Lum to be their translator. Lum soon becomes Sandy's only confidante, calling her when she's upset or needs help, and at one point, Sandy confesses that if there wasn't a movie being made, she would have wanted Debbie to be her maid of honor. Lum's objectivity is tested again and again, and one day, she can't help but ask Steven point-blank: I understand what you get out of this arrangement, but what do you think she gets out of it?

    Lum's debut documentary feature reveals two people from opposite worlds, both with questionable motives, yet both unexpectedly relatable in their struggle to make their relationship work. In addition to winning Grand Jury prizes at the San Diego Asian Film Festival (for Best Documentary Feature) and the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival (for Best Documentary Director), what's also impressive is Seeking Asian female's rock-star consultant lineup, which reads like a who's who of leading Asian American documentarians: consulting producers Stephane Wang-Breal (Wo Ai Ni Mommy) and Steven Okazaki (White Light, Black Rain), as well as story consultants S. Leo Chiang (A Village Called Versailles) and Spencer Nakasano (aka Don Bonus, Kelly Loves Tony, Refugee). The story is co-written by Lum, Tina Nguyen, and Amy Ferraris.

    Asia Pacific Arts talks to Debbie Lum at the San Diego Asian Film Festival about her personal documentary that challenges our ideas about cross-cultural romance and unlikely lovers.

     

    When did you realize you needed to be a character in the film?

     

    Debbie Lum: I didn't realize I needed to be in the film until towards the end of the shooting. There were a number of things that happened. Obviously, I got totally drawn into their story, but even before that, Steven really had a hard time ignoring me behind the camera. And I realized that both Steven and Sandy were very challenging characters, and when you have two people who are very foreign to the audience, you need someone to help understand and guide the story.

    Also, when it comes to the whole phenomenon of yellow fever and the objectification of Asian women, Asian America is left out of the equation. And it's a big issue, because they're often mistaking Asian American women for Asian women. That was what ultimately convinced me to put myself in it.

    APA: How did you find Steven?

    Debbie: Way, way back, I was writing a screenplay, and one of the characters in it was an Asiaphile. I've met these guys all my life, but I thought, maybe I don't know them as well as I thought I did. So I started contacting them on Craigslist to see if they would be willing to be interviewed for a screenplay I was writing. I brought my camera, and I realized there was really amazing material.

     

    http://uschina.usc.edu/Files/images/201212/seekingasianfemale1.jpg

     

    APA: In the documentary, Steven talks about how he was searching for an Asian wife for years, before he decided to narrow it down to specifically Chinese women. Was the fact that you [as a Chinese American] might be able to communicate and understand his future Chinese prospects one of the reasons you chose Steven as your subject?

    Debbie: Actually, not at all. That was purely circumstantial, because I had been following three or four other men at the same time. One of the guys was a police officer from the Bay Area really into Vietnamese American women. There was a young wannabe rockstar in San Francisco that was really into Japanese women. And, there was a guy that liked all Asian women but he ended up with a Filipina woman, so it was a real diverse group.

    The whole film was total unexpected chance. You couldn't have written it. I did always have an instinct that Steven was a fascinating chracter. He was always my favorite amongst the men I was following, but he was so crazy that I thought he was never going to find anyone, so the story wouldn't go anywhere. And then he ended up being the one. I was also expecting Sandy to be a different person.

     

    http://uschina.usc.edu/Files/images/201212/seekingasianfemale3.jpg

     

    APA: There's a scene in the documentary where you turn the camera on yourself, and you're talking to your husband about how bad you feel for Sandy, who you've just met. And he says, "Maybe they're in love."

    Debbie: [laughs] He had to put up with so much through the making of the film. Production alone was crazy, and he's from Ireland, and before he met me, he had never heard of "yellow fever." He used to joke with me and say, "You've got some issues." But then he found out about this whole phenomenon, and he says sometimes now when he's with me, he feels kind of dirty. [laughs]

    APA: Especially if people know that your wife is making a film about it!

    [in Seeking Asian Female, Lum tells the viewer that one of the reasons Steven feels so comfortable confiding in her is because she has a Caucasian husband, so he assumes they have a lot in common -- a notion she finds disturbing.]

    Debbie: People in San Francisco are much more uptight about the whole thing. It's different in SoCal. The further you get from Berkeley the less you feel it, but there's a lot fo backlash. And that's why I think a lot of the [Asiaphile] men were talking to me. A lot of them felt like they have been labeled.

    You can't really generalize about men with yellow fever, but what I would say is that for a lot of them, in their mind, they are escaping what they conceive of as liberated feminist American women. Secondly, they do feel a sense of entitlement, in a way that, if you look at the other side of the equation, Asian women don't often feel the same entitlement to date white men. And because the men did feel entitled, they wanted to talk to me about it. They were so surprised that anyone might have an issue with it. They needed a soapbox to articulate this, and they weren't shy about it. Women get mad about that, I think, but maybe we should take that same attitude and feel entitled to dating white men as well.

    APA: What do you think made you so fascinated with men with Asian fetishes? Because it's one thing to be curious about it, but it takes another level of fascination to make a film about it.

    Debbie: It's always just been a real big issue with me. It's always bothered me. It's supposedly quite normal to have attention, and most people want to be the object of affection, but I always felt like it was problematic. Because I'm bit older, I grew up during a time when Asian Americans were at best invisible. You go from being invisible to being totally desired but for the wrong reasons. It's definitely a bit better now.

     

    http://uschina.usc.edu/Files/images/201212/seekingasianfemale4.jpg

     

    APA: What surprised you most about how your film's story turned out?

    Debbie: The biggest surprise for me was actually Sandy, the person that he found. He totally lucked out to find this person who is quite an amazing character. Maybe that's a reflection on him, or it could have just been total luck. But I also realized I had so many of my own expectations about her. Here I am, thinking I can tell him, "This is how Asian women are. You don't know how Asian women are. I know how Asian women are." But I had my own stereotypes and expectations about her.

    Steven really surprised me by the end, because I actually just thought he wast just somebody who enjoyed seraching. I didn't think he actually wanted to find somebody, but when he did find someone, he stepped up to the plate.

    APA: Was Sandy open to being filmed for the documentary from the very beginning?

    Debbie: She was. The first time I see her in the film is the first time I met her. Steven had told her about me -- and that I was going to be there filming.

    APA: As someone who was coming to America for the first time to meet a potential husband, why do you think she was so open to having her story be public?

    Debbie: She's a very unique person. She has a certain confidence, and she's very proud of who she is. She maybe represents the new generation of Chinese women who are quite media-savvy. She's a self-made woman. She grew up in one of the poorest regions in china, she didn't finish school or go to college, and she moved to the big city. That journey alone is worth a documentary.

    I think she was just somebody who really knows what she wants. That said, it's not like this is an easy film for her. She is really quite courageous to have been part of it. Poeple, when they haven't seen the film, have a lot of preconceptions about who she is. They jump to a lot of conclusions that are frankly unfair. So that part isn't easy for her.

    APA: How did Steven and Sandy react when saw the film for the first time?

    Debbie: By the time we watched the film together, there were really no surprises for them. I was really nervous the first time I showed it to them, and they were nervous as well. But at the end, they said, "That's not as bad as I thought it would be!" [laughs]
